OPERATION
(cont.)
Locate the allen key that is attached to the cordset
protector near the rear handle. Find the blade
locking hex head screw in the slot on the side
housing as per diagram. Insert allen key and
loosen the blade locking screw but do not remove.
Position the hole in the blade over the retaining
pin between blade clamping plate and blade
holder shaft. Using the allen key, tighten the
blade clamp screw. Do not over tighten. Check
the blade clamping mechanism periodically to
ensure blade is secure.
Switch
The Multi Purpose Saw has a lock-off switch with a variable speed function. The on/off
switch is located on the underside of the rear handle. The variable speed control is
located on the top of the rear handle.
To turn the saw on, slide back the safety switch on the trigger and squeeze the on/off
trigger. To turn the saw off, release the on/off trigger.
The variable speed control fitted to the saw enables the operator to better control the
start of a cut. The operator can also choose the appropriate speed depending on the
circumstances. The dial is rotated to achieve the desired speed.
Making a cut
Warning!
Ensure that work pieces being cut are securely clamped.
Hold the saw firmly with the blade facing away from you. Turn the saw on. Wait till the
motor has reached maximum speed before starting a cut.
Note:
Only supply sufficient pressure to allow the blade to do the cutting. Do not
force the operation. Blades could be damaged if excessive pressure is applied.
